When Jug Suraiya says that he himself is the source of corruption, he says it for all of us. Each one of us is responsible for corruption. My blog says 'Fight Corruption'. At one time or the other, each one of us say, 'Fight Corruption'. When we say this, we mean the corruption which is happenning around us. After reading the 'Ghoos Story' a thought struck me that what about the corruption within me, what about the corruption for which I am responsible? So, when I say 'Fight Corruption', it should not be to fight 'external corruption' only but it should also include 'internal corruption'.From now onwards, my fight against corruption will be against both external and internal corruption. This is nothing new. It is a part of our culture, mansa, vaacha, karmana - no corruption in speech and action but also in our thoughts.
Corruption may have become something unavoidable, something we have to learn to live with, but our goal should be zero corruption. Every moment we should aim to achieve zero corruption. We know the present level of corruption, ours and others. Let us call it X and Y. We should work to contunually improve the corruption benchmark from X and Y to Zero. We may not achieve it in our lifetime but whatever improvement we are able to make will be a service to the mankind. This will take us near to God. It will purify us, our thoughts, speech and actions.
